Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Costa Rica has kicked off!
  • 5' - Costa Rica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ayase Ueda, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - Brandon Aguilera has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ko Itakura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 41' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Contreras on 41.
  • 42' - Anthony Contreras is having his name booked by the referee on 42.

  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ayase Ueda by Takuma Asano on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Maya Yoshida needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 61.
